A Special Brain Comes to Cleveland

In the summer of 1966, construction began on a glass-enclosed pavilion to be added to the front of the Cleveland Health Museum. The new pavilion which opened in October of that year, housed a giant mechanical brain that had been a feature of the 1964-1965 New York World Fair. The brain, which was 25 feet wide, 20 feet deep, and 12 feet high, was purchased by the museum as the result of donations made by several key benefactors. | Date: 1966 | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph Collection
